Is it Hurin Thalion. Hurin is the only one who killed a dwarf [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lindolirian 09-08-2003 02:59 PM

Well that's true, but this in One Thing in Common, not Odd Man Out. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Turambar 09-08-2003 03:08 PM

Troll slayers.

The Saucepan Man 09-08-2003 05:55 PM

Is it that they were all taken captive?

Pippin was captured, along with Merry, by Saruman's Uruk-Hai.
Hurin Thalion was captured by Morgoth's forces and taken to Angbad.
Tharkun was taken captive by Saruman and held at Orthanc.

Lindolirian 09-08-2003 08:59 PM

Saucepan Man fell for the trick! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] That was the answer that was to lead you away from the real one that Turambar gave. They all killed trolls. Proceed Master of Doom!

Turambar 09-09-2003 01:28 PM

Túrin
Beren
Lúthien
Finrod

FingolfintheBold 10-03-2003 03:19 PM

They all fought evil creatures of Morgoth ( dragon, wolf, were-wolf)

Turambar 10-03-2003 04:08 PM

Nope.

Telchar 10-04-2003 02:00 AM

They all went to Menegroth?

Telchar 10-04-2003 02:01 AM

... or they were all held captive at one point?

Turambar 10-04-2003 06:23 AM

I posted this so long ago that I'm not even sure I'm remembering the answer correctly. But if I am, a hint for Túrin would be: Beleg.

Gwaihir the Windlord 10-11-2003 04:19 AM

They all underwent long journeys.

Turambar 10-11-2003 06:27 AM

No. The hints for Beren and Luthien would be . . . each other.

Gil-Galad 10-11-2003 11:01 AM

They all had great compansinship that woudl be the death of each other?

Turambar 10-12-2003 07:12 AM

HINT: Lennon-McCartney. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Gil-Galad 10-12-2003 08:10 AM

all of them had enemies that wanted too kill them?

NightKnight 10-23-2003 05:26 AM

Someone they loved died because of them?

Regarding the previous one, when did Hurin kill a troll? And Tharkun is Gandalf, right?

Telchar 10-23-2003 06:06 AM

I guess this is what you're looking for....
Quote:

Last of all Húrin stood alone. Then he cast aside his shield, and wielded an axe two-handed; and it is sung that the axe smoked in the black blood of the troll-guard of Gothmog until it withered
And Tharkun/Gandalf had some dealings with some three trolls in The Hobbit ;o)

Turambar 10-23-2003 06:42 AM

I think I'll give my answer in an attempt to revive this thread.

They were all song writers. Each of Beren and Lúthien wrote a song about the other; Túrin wrote a song for Beleg, and Finrod wrote a song for the first men, as well as the song of power against sauron.

Telchar 10-23-2003 07:04 AM

It was actually a good question Turambar and we should have solved it [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] - wont you ask another ... to revive the thread as you say.

Turambar 10-23-2003 10:54 AM

OK but only if you help me with the Password. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

NightKnight 10-23-2003 11:27 AM

Thanks Telchar, it sure was. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Turambar 10-24-2003 12:35 PM

Fingolfin
Morgoth
Fingon
Ungoliant

Telchar 10-24-2003 04:43 PM

They all passed the helkaraxe?

Gil-Galad 10-24-2003 05:24 PM

They all were betrayed some how

Turambar 10-25-2003 06:14 AM

Telchar got it. Geez I thought that would be harder.

Telchar 10-25-2003 01:16 PM

OK Thanks Turambar, was actually my wife that guessed it [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] - it took her er full 20 seconds - lol - Enjoy this one

Luthien
Celebrain
Maeglin
Tuor
Arwen

NightKnight 10-26-2003 04:11 AM

Maeglin, for being the only one not to marry someone of another race?

Telchar 10-26-2003 06:37 AM

This is one thin in common, and secondly as a hint - race has nothing to do with it. Some might find it easy, but I think this one is in the tougher department [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Gil-Galad 10-29-2003 06:30 PM

They all made a great journey too lands they have never seen, or through dangerous lands?

Telchar 10-30-2003 01:31 AM

Nope - it has nothing to do with anything they did [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Estanesse 10-31-2003 08:44 AM

They were all, in one way or an other, protected by someone

Luthien – Huan
Celebrain – Her sons
Maeglin – Eöl
Tuor - Ulmo
Arwen – Her father

Telchar 10-31-2003 08:49 AM

nope - far off! THIS has to do with family [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Gil-Galad 10-31-2003 09:55 AM

There parent(s) were greatly honured among elves and men?

[ October 31, 2003: Message edited by: Gil-Galad ]

Telchar 10-31-2003 06:25 PM

Nope - hint: look at family trees....

Estanesse 11-03-2003 11:31 AM

They are one big happy family

Maeglin is the son of Eöl who is a kin of Thingol.
Luthien is the daughter of Thingol.
Tuor is Earendil’s father who is married to the granddaughter of Luthien.
Celebrain is married to the Great-grandson of Luthien.
Arwen is Earendil’s granddaughter.

Telchar 11-03-2003 03:50 PM

Creative thinking [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] But thats not it...

The relations among them means nothing!

Arothir 11-03-2003 04:03 PM

None of their parents were of the same clan
Eol was a Sinda, Aredhel a Noldo
Thingol an elf, Melian a Maia
Rian a Beorian, Huor a Hadorian
Galadriel a Noldo, Celeborn a Sinda/Amanya Teler whatever he is
Elrond a Half-elf, Celebrian an elf

Telchar 11-03-2003 04:08 PM

Also a very good answer - but still no cigar [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
